I don't want to define large either, but then I especially don't
want any person who thinks a VAX-11/780 is or was a mainframe to
denote what large is less so (it ain't).  You should be thinking
Giga everything, planning Tera-[not the company] for the near future,
and you have gone to look up the next set of prefixes from a dictionary
(e.g., eta, peta, eka).

If you have to ask to define, you aren't there yet. 8^)
